Manufacturing strategies Flashcards
What is a strategy?
How do we know what to do, when to do it and why?
What is production system?
Input: labour, capital, material, equipment, energy, facilities goes through transformation and out comes output: products or services The output gives back sutomer participation to inout. and after transformation informations goes to input
What is important to concider before choosing production system?
- Product : values and number of variants - Available space - Existing production/system - customer order decouping point - manufacturing strategy
How is the different process types realted to production volumes ?
From low to high volume, fixed position (ship), Functional layout (heavy equipment), Batch flows (trucks), line flow (microwave ovens), continues flow (oil refinery)
What is order decoupling point (CODP)?
The point which splits the flow into two parts what is produced on expectation, i.e. on forecast, and what is produced for a specific utter order. From much forecast to much commitment Make to stock, assambly to order, make to order, engineer to order
What different strategies are there and on which level?
Business strategy- business level Marketing strategy- operational level Product development strategy- operational level Manufacturing strategy- operational level
What means TTM and TTC?
TTM = Time to market TTC= Time to customer
What is the definition of production strategy?
- A manufacturing strategy is a plan comprising the activity that are necessary to reach targets. - It can be a link between the production system and business strategies, and a guiding star for the production system designer.
What is the four productions rules?
- Internally natural (“infant”)- Other company functions regard production as a burden, which obstructs them from improving the competitiveness.
- The production system make little or no contribution to theorganizations success.
- Manufacturing is low tach and unskilled. - Externally neutral (“average”)- Production compares itself with similar organisations and tries to keep up with competitors.
- Manufacturing is satisfied to keep up with its competitors and maintain the status quo.
- Manufacturing consists of standard, routine activities. - Internally supportive (“Adult”)- Production is aware of what is expected from them and they keep up with the best competitors
- The production system provides order qualifying and order winning outputs at target levels.
- All manufacturing decisions are consistent with the manufacturing strategy. - Externally supportive (“world class”)- Production contributes actively to development the company in order to achieve a log-term competiveness ans exceed cutomer expectations.
- The production systsem strives to be the best in the world in all activities in the manufacturing sybsystems
- The production system is the major source of competitive advantage.
What is the manufacturing strategy content? factors ? decision categories?
- Competitive factors:
- Cost, quality, deliverability, flexability
- Decision:
- Structural
- Production process, capablity, facilities, vertical integration
- Infra structural
- Quality control, organisation, production planning, control
- Structural
What is the sandcone model of improvment?
seeks to explain how assigning pribrities to operations objects may result in lasting omprovments in performance
What is the difference between lead or lag?

The ´marker requirments´and óperations resources´analysis od the lighting company, What is Performance objectives? And what three other categories is it in it?
Performance objectives:
Repedablity, speed of delivery, product mix, flexility, speed to market
And in it is….
Customers:
Segmenatation on: younth-age-purpose-general
Market position:
Differentiation on: innovatiove products, time to market, product range & coordinated launches
Competitors:
Traditionally work in: promotion, design innovation
What is the capabilities and targets in production strategy?
- Cost (unit cost, cost relative competitors, inevntory..)
- Quality (Number of complains, % scrap, returns, MTPF)
- Speed (Cycle time, vendor delivery time, response time)
- Dependability (% timedelivery, avrage latness)
- Flexibility (set-up time, time to develop new products, rang of products)
